Hi All,

I am trying to copy image from picturebox in winforms.

Right now i had given the hard coded path and imagename.
SaveImage(@"C:\test\Logo\Resources\Logos\mslogo.png", "microsoftlogo.png");

Instead of giving the hard coded path and imagename,

Is there a way to give the file path (Mouse Right click path and same Image name)

private void form_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right)
{
string[] strButtons ={"Save"};

formRightClick frmRightClick = new formRightClick(strButtons);
frmRightClick.bolPasteToClipBoard = true;
frmRightClick.Show();
frmRightClick.Disposed += new EventHandler(frmRightClick_Disposed);
}
}

private void frmRightClick_Disposed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
formRightClick frmRightClick = (formRightClick)sender;
string strClicked = frmRightClick.strClick.ToUpper

// here i am giving the file path and image name

SaveImage((@"C:\test\Logo\Resources\Logos\mslogo.png"", "microsoft.png");
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
throw exception;
}

}

private static void SaveImage(string imagePath, string savedName)
{
try
{
Image originalImage = Image.FromFile(imagePath);
string filePath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile), "Downloads", savedName);
originalImage.Save(filePath, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw e;
}
}

What I have tried:

Here is the method to save the image
I am calling save method SaveImage(@"C:\test\Logo\Resources\Logos\mslogo.png", "microsoftlogo.png");

private static void SaveImage(string imagePath, string savedName)
{
try
{
Image originalImage = Image.FromFile(imagePath);
string filePath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile), "Downloads", savedName);
originalImage.Save(filePath, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw e;
}
}

You have a method that accepts two strings: one the source image, the other the filename you want to save the new copy as. Presently, you are calling it with hard coded strings - but the method doesn't care what you pass it, provided that they are strings and that one of them "points at" the source image file. So just replace the hardcode path and filename with variables and call the same method.

Me? I'd write three methods:

C#

private Image LoadImage(string path)
   {
   using (Image im = Image.FromFile(path))
      {
      return new Bitmap(im);
      }
   }

private string GetImageFullPath(string name)
   {
   return Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile), "Downloads", name);
   }

private void SaveImage(Image im, string destPath)
   {
   im.Save(destPath, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
   }

And use them.

Note: Your original try ... catch block is irrelevant: it does nothing useful at all.
